125mm PLUS support rings

Quick Overview

The support rings PLUS 125mm can be used with different brands telescopes (for example refractors 120-130mm in diameter) with tube approximately 125mm in diameter. With this rings you can install both above and below the optical tube our PLUS plates or even guide rings. Compatible with telescopes by various brands, such as: Takahashi FSQ106ED, Takahashi FSQ106EDX, Takahashi TSA120.

Like all the other elements of the PLUS series, these rings are made with high mechanical precision (built with CNC machines from aluminum block) and specially designed to enable you to easily install other mechanical elements such as plates, guide rings or dovetail clamps.

The 125mm PLUS support rings are part of our system PLUS (Prima Luce Universal System) which includes a large variety of support rings, plates, guide rings and dovetail clamps to offer you the maximum freedom to build your mechanical system of support, depending on the application that you want to achieve. Indeed, all the PLUS elements have threaded holes, holes and slots suitable for connecting elements, always with maximum rigidity and comfort.

For this application, we designed many elements, including the 125mm PLUS support rings. Each component of the PLUS system is made of aluminum blocks that are high precision CNC machined. The aluminum is then sandblasted to achieve a very smooth surface finish and is anodized (hard anodizing) to increase the hardness of the material and protect it from oxidation.

Thanks to the particular design, the 125mm PLUS support rings are equipped with holes (above and below each ring) to permit the attachment of:

Vixen or Losmandy plates below the rings to install the telescope on any mount

PLUS guide rings (each ring can be fixed on the support ring with 2 screws)

Vixen or Losmandy plates above the rings to increase the rigidity of the mechanical system and enable to install other accessories, such as dovetail clamps with guide rings to precisely adjust the position of the guide telescope.

If you have other brands mechanical accessories, you can still use all the elements of the PLUS system. Indeed we have provided a series of central slots that allow, for example, to fix on these support rings plate or guide rings through a screw.

PLUS is the system of dovetail bars and rings for telescopes designed by PrimaLuceLab in order to connect in a modular way telescopes and accessories in a stable manner and without flexures. All elements are made of high-strength aluminum, sandblasted, with high thickness red anodizing treatment. All PLUS elements are designed to be connected to each other always with at least two screws (M6) to ensure the greatest possible strength and the total absence of flexions, very important for astrophotography.
